 “There's a mother in PICU(兒童重症監護病房)who wants to talk about a kit she received.”the nurse told me.“Something about it made her cry.”

I’ve been a child-1ife specialist at the Cleveland Clinic Children’s Hospital since 2000. I help families understand diagnoses and treatment plans and manage the ups and downs that come with caring for a sick h talks with parents are part of the job，which still makes me feel nervous.

The kits the nurse was talking about were something I had recently introduced to the hospital：Comfort Kits from were supposed to make a child’s experience here easier，not upsetting.

When I came across the kits at a conference.I fell in love with them.A treasure box of items designed not only to entertain kids，but to comfort and inspire e’s a coloring book，a stress ball，a CD of relaxing music，a hairy star named Sparkle，a journal and much more.I really believed these kits would help kids.I wished I hadn’t been mistaken.

At the patient’s room in PICU I saw a little girl，sleeping soundly，surrounded by tubes and eyes met her mother' kit was open on her lap and tears were running down her cheeks.

“I'm Shannon.I manage the Child Life Department.”I said.“I'm sorry if the kit upset ’s a new item…”

The mother shook her head.“This has been one of the worst days of my life.I felt so scared and I was handed this box.I know it’s for my daughter，but it's just the comfort I needed.I wanted to say thank you.”

With that I knew Comfort Kits belonged ’ve been using them for almost three years child who’s admitted to the hospital receives y day I see kids coloring，journaling，playing with Sparkle.

But as this mom showed me Comfort Kits aren't just for hope they bring，which can be in short supply in hospitals sometimes,is felt by the whole family.
